  Applicants must be at least 16 years of age and possess a high school diploma or GED equivalent to take PST prefixed courses.  Senior high school students may be eligible to take PST prefixed courses with written recommendation of their high school academic advisor and permission of the instructor.  Graduate-level courses and some PST prefixed courses require completion of an undergraduate degree. A copy of your BA/BS transcript must accompany your registration. Non U.S. citizens, including green card holders, MUST follow the procedures outlined under INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

• Gallaudet University Employees
Tution, processing, and lab fees are waived for regular full- and part-time employees of the University. Test, material and late fees are not waived and must be paid at the time of registration. A signed tuition waiver form must accompany your application or the application will not be processed. Full- or part-time temporary employees and those working for Gallaudet University on a contract basis are not entitled to a tuition waiver and are therefore responsible for all fees.


• Currently Enrolled Gallaudet Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Tuition and processing fees for PST prefixed courses are waived for currently enrolled full-time Gallaudet undergraduate and graduate students. However, students are responsible for lab, test, material and late fees. Only the processing fee is waived for part-time students. Students must complete the Application/Course Registration and Payment Forms and bring it to HMB S141.
